This stately colonial home on more than two lush acres in Darnestown — with its spacious and elegant spaces inside and out — is ideal for relaxation and comfortable living after a long day at the office or running errands.

Set in the Spring Meadows community, the 1995 brick-front home offers four upper-level bedrooms, an attached, three-car garage, and a large rear deck that overlooks a lush yard with beautiful gardens and mature flowering trees. A full-level lower level awaits expansion should the new owners need more space.

A path off the sideload garage and parking pad leads to the soaring front stoop. Inside, the large window and sidelights surrounding the front door let in natural light to the two-story foyer, which has an impressive staircase flanked by the formal living and dining rooms. A pair of guest closets flanks the front door.

Hardwood floors run throughout most of the main level. The living room to the right has thick crown molding and generous windows on two walls. Beyond, a carpeted study also has windows on two walls, and a built-in wall unit with a desk.

Adjacent, the sunken family room features a wood-burning fireplace with a raised hearth, flanked by French doors to the deck and fenced yard.

The breakfast room and island kitchen take up a large portion of the rear of the home. Wood floors also are featured here, as are ample cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, upscale appliances, recessed lights and a pantry.

The laundry and mudroom sit off of the kitchen area. Access to the sideload garage also is off this area.

A powder room with a pedestal sink sits off of the family room. Rounding out the main level is the dining room, located to the left of the foyer. Crown molding, chair rail and a large window looking out front adorn this formal space.

Carpet runner lines the wood stairs leading up to the top level — home of two bedroom suites including the master's, plus two smaller rooms that share an end-of-hall bath. All the rooms have wall-to-wall carpeting. A catwalk on this level overlooks the family room.

The smaller bedroom suite has two windows, a ceiling fan and a private bathroom that has a front window.

The owners' suite, behind double doors to the left of the stairs, offers his/hers walk-in closets, a bedroom area with a cathedral ceiling, a fan and a corner gas fireplace with a mantel. This suite's bathroom has a double vanity, a tub, a separate shower and a private toilet area. A sitting room with a window also is part of this suite.

The unfinished basement has a rough-in for a future bath.

The home also features dual-zone heating — natural gas for the main level, and an electric heat pump on the upper level; a built-in humidifier; and a recently replaced air conditioning system and natural-gas water heater.
